Robbie suddenly finds himself persona non grata
So the next logical question is, if a player elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA is later proven to be a cheater for using steroids, a crime worthy HOF candidates Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield have been accused of, can / should they remain in the Baseball Hall of Fame?
It seems like hypocrisy to me, just sayin' ...
The Blue Jays -- for whom Alomar played from 1991 to 1995, winning two World Series titles -- expressed support for MLB's decision and said they would cut all ties with Alomar. A banner honoring Alomar, whose No. 12 was retired by the team, will be removed from the Rogers Centre, as will other acknowledgments of his Toronto career, the Blue Jays said.
The Baseball Hall of Fame, to which Alomar was inducted in 2011, said his enshrinement will remain in place.
